Why Naseem Shah ranks #165 in Cricket
Naseem Shah ranks 165th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1818th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 73.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 86, Longevity 62, Honours 66, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 297 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2019–present with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2023, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test wickets 57, youngest test hat-trick age 16, odi wickets 39, asia cup titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Mohammad Asif on 74.8, a gap of 1.6 points. Directly behind is Gus Atkinson on 70.3. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
